Robotic Pool Cleaner Ensures You Are Superior to Your Neighbor's Lango-Life Pool

This $1,200 underwater bouncer is essentially a fancy leaf vacuum that promises to automate the cleaning process, making you feel like a yacht owner. Every fresh expat in Pescadero is buying six units because owning one signals they are too 'curated' for manual upkeep. It provides instant, palpable spiritual superiority over anyone still scooping pond grime with a basic net. However, its sophisticated navigation sensors will inevitably get confused by the local tide changes and mistake a passing sea urchin for an operational obstacle.
